nut is nutrition software to record what you eat and analyze your meals for nutrient composition. The database included is the latest USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference. This database contains values for vitamins, minerals, fats, calories, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, etc., and includes the essential polyunsaturated fats, Omega-3 and Omega-6. Nutrient levels are expressed as a percentage of the Daily Value, the familiar standard of food labeling in the United States, but also can be fully customized. Foods can be added from recipes or food labels, and nutrient intake can be graphed. The program is completely menu-driven and there are no commands to learn.

Release Notes: This release fixes bugs including the erroneous indication from the calorie auto-set feature whether the user is "bulking" or "cutting".

GASNet (Global-Address Space Networking) is a
language-independent low-level networking layer
that provides network-independent,
high-performance communication primitives tailored
for implementing parallel global-address space
SPMD languages such as UPC, Titanium, and Co-Array
Fortran. The interface is primarily intended as a
compilation target and for use by runtime library
writers (as opposed to end users), and the primary
goals are high performance, interface
portability, and expressiveness.

Release Notes: Updates, bugfixes, enhancements, and support for new platforms.

Unified Parallel C (UPC) is an extension of the C programming language designed for high performance computing on large-scale parallel machines. The language provides a uniform programming model for both shared and distributed memory hardware. The programmer is presented with a single shared, partitioned address space, where variables may be directly read and written by any processor, but each variable is physically associated with a single processor. UPC uses a Single Program Multiple Data (SPMD) model of computation in which the amount of parallelism is fixed at program startup time, typically with a single thread of execution per processor. Berkeley UPC provides a portable, high-performance compiler for developing UPC software on systems ranging from clusters to custom supercomputers and even laptop-grade systems.

Release Notes: Updates, bugfixes, enhancements, and support for new platforms.

Open MPI is a project that originated as the
merging of technologies and resources from
several other projects (FT- MPI, LA-MPI, LAM/MPI,
and PACX-MPI) in order to build the best MPI
library available. A completely new MPI-2
compliant implementation, Open MPI offers
advantages for system and software vendors,
application developers, and computer science
researchers. It is easy to use, and runs natively
on a wide variety of operating systems, network
interconnects, and batch/scheduling systems.

Release Notes: Fixes mpirun --launch-agent behavior when a prefix is specified. Fixes memchecker configury. Fixes spawning from a singleton to multiple hosts when the "add-host" MPI_Info key is used. Adds Mellanox ConnextIB IDs and max inline value. Fixes rankfile when no -np is given. FreeBSD detection improvement. Removal of TCP warnings on Windows. Improved collective algorithm selection for very large messages. Fixes PSM MTL affinity settings. Fixes an issue with MPI_OP_COMMUTATIVE in the mpif.h bindings. Fixes an issue with MPI_SIZEOF when using CHARACTER and LOGICAL types in the MPI module.

Fresh IDE is a visual assembly language IDE with a built-in Flat assembler (FASM) compiler. It is written in Fresh IDE and is a self-compilable application. It is fully compatible with FASM and can be compiled with every version of FASM, as well. The main goal of Fresh is to make programming in assembly as fast and efficient as in high-level languages, without sacrificing the small application size and raw power of assembly language. It is a Windows application, but it runs in Wine very well and can create, compile, debug, and run applications for Windows and Linux on both Windows and Linux host machines.

Release Notes: Important new features and fixes. Auto-completion for the local labels was implemented. It should speed up the programming by vastly reducing keystrokes typed. The compilation time was greatly reduced by optimization of the cross-reference processing algorithms. The latest FASM 1.71.05 compiler is included. The latest working version of FreshLib, partially ported to KolibriOS, was merged. FreshLib now includes templates for easier porting to new OSes.

spectrwm is a minimalistic tiling window manager that tries to stay out of the way so that valuable screen real estate can be used for much more important stuff. It has sane defaults and does not require one to learn a language to do any configuration. It was written by hackers for hackers and it strives to be small, compact, and fast.

Release Notes: This release fixes handling of region focus with empty workspaces. It fixes toggle_bar not working on empty workspaces. It fixes an issue where multiple key actions might be handled simultaneously. It fixes focus behavior when iconified windows exist in the ws. It fixes windows not being unmapped on single-monitor full-screen layout. It fixes mouse and keyboard binds to work regardless of caps/numlock state. It fixes a couple of segfaults and a couple of memory leaks.

ccextractor is a tool that analyzes video files (DVDs, Transport Streams, Tivo, Media Center, and others) and produces independent subtitle files (.srt and .sami) from the closed captions data. It is portable, small, and very fast. It also supports H.264.

Release Notes: Improved teletext support. Improvements in the GUI. WTV support (Windows only). Roll-up options to deal with 3 and 4 line roll-up captions. The ability to force PTS instead of GOP timing (needed for some live streams).

autorevision extracts metadata about the current revision from your repository. It is meant to be used by project build systems to extract properties that can be used in software version strings. Repository types supported include git, hg, bzr, and svn. It can create files containing variable and macro definitions suitable for C, C++, Java, sh, Python, Perl, PHP, Lua, JavaScript, and header files suitable for use in preprocessing Info.plist files.

Release Notes: This release adds a Bazaar extractor.
autorevision can now usually be called safely from subdirectories.
It drops back to the numeric VCS_WC_MODIFIED so the C processor can use it.

ASTRES is a helpdesk application that allows you
to manage customer tickets (with workflow and
level tree views), internal actions between
actors, diffused/received documents, sent/received
material, planning, stats, reporting, and news. It
is used by the French civil aviation.

Release Notes: This release can
manage contracts,
purchase orders,
units of work,
assignments of units of work to supporters,
and weekly imputations of supporters,
desactivate projects,
define the way to sort purposes in documents and the purposes GUI,
create absences in the name of another supporter,

and update the description of an internal action.

jGnash is a personal finance application written
in Java. Java 7 is required. jGnash supports several account types, including investment accounts. It has support for split transactions, nested accounts, scheduled transactions, commodities, and currencies. It can import OFX and QIF files, excluding investment accounts and transactions. Data is stored in an XML format so it is easy to manipulate and read the data external to the program. jGnash also has scripting support to add custom reports and functionality.

Release Notes: This release improves importing and management of security history,
makes several improvements to reporting,
and fixes minor bugs.

cdist is a usable configuration management system. It adheres to the KISS principle and is being used in both small and enterprise-grade environments. It is an alternative to other configuration management systems like cfengine, bcfg2, chef, and puppet.

HPCC (High Performance Computing Cluster) stores and processes large quantities of data, processing billions of records per second using massive parallel processing technology. Large amounts of data across disparate data sources can be accessed, analyzed, and manipulated in fractions of seconds. HPCC functions as both a processing and a distributed data storage environment capable of analyzing terabytes of information.

Release Notes: This release has enhancements and fixes from the prior release, including graph updates, improvements to the memory manager, file handling, and more. Hadoop Connector 3.6.4-1rc is also available. A full list of known limitations is available on the website.

humidity), toggle and configure the external
switches, start the watchdog, and lots more.

Xataface is a flexible and shapable skin that sits
on top of MySQL, making it accessible to every-day
users. It automatically generates the appropriate
forms, lists, and menus for a user to interact
with the database without having to know any SQL.
It is a full-featured Web application framework,
and gives developers the flexibility to customize
the features and behavior of their application via
configuration files (using the simple INI-file
syntax), templates, and plug-ins. A generic
application with no customizations is completely
functional, but the developer is free to customize
things at his leisure.

Release Notes: This bugfix release includes all bugfixes from the past few months. For a full list, see the release announcement in the forum.

Bandwidth is primarily a memory bandwidth benchmark, but it can also measure network bandwidth. It measures the maximum memory bandwidth of each part of the memory system, including main memory, L1, L2, and L3 caches, framebuffer memory, and register-to-register. For many tests, it performs both sequential memory accesses as well as random memory accesses to provide a more real-world performance estimate. The tests support Linux (Intel), Windows/Cygwin, and Mac OS X. Its core routines are in assembly for x86 and x86-64 architectures with both SSE4 and AVX support. Bandwidth also includes automatic graphing of the results, stored to a BMP image file. The network bandwidth tests support Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows/Cygwin.

BalanceNG is a modern, IPv6 capable software IP load balancing solution. It is small, fast, and easy to use and set up. It offers session persistence, different
distribution methods (Round Robin, Random,
Weighted Random, Least Session, Least Bandwidth,
Hash, Agent, and Randomized Agent) and a
customizable UDP health check agent in source
code. It supports VRRP to set up high availability
configurations on multiple nodes. It supports
SNMP, integrating the BALANCENG-MIB with
Net-SNMPD. It implements a very fast in-memory
IP-to-location database, allowing powerful
location-based server load-balancing.

Release Notes: An automatic session table resync has been implemented. If the parameters "sessionautoresync" and "sessionsyncack" are both set to 1 (active), then the current VRRP master resyncs the session table automatically to a freshly started or restarted VRRP backup node. The manual has been updated accordingly.

Fimex is a the File Interpolation, Manipulation, and EXtraction library for gridded geospatial data. It converts between different, extensible data formats (currently netcdf, NcML, grib1/2, metgm, wdb, and felt). It enables you to change the projection and interpolation of scalar and vector grids. It makes it possible to subset the gridded data and to extract only parts of the files. For simple usage, Fimex also comes with the command line program fimex.

Release Notes: The vertical interpolation to depth below sea-surface used an axis of positive up, while it documented positive down. The implementation now follows the documentation, i.e. the sea-floor has now a positive number. In addition, interpolated values below the sea-floor will now be set automatically to undefined.

Samba is a software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients. It is freely available, unlike other SMB/CIFS implementations, and allows for interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and Windows-based clients.

Release Notes: This is a release candidate for the upcoming Samba version.
